since it's still an open source project. This is one of the best features of open source projects -- you're not screwed if the developing company decides to screw you (like MS, by buying a company and then dumping the new product (MatLab recently did this), etc).

And, of course, there's still Interbase (got to keep CRC happy :-))

I'm not surprised that it's tough to make money off open source s/w -- e.g. reports that IBM and sombody else are investing more money in SuSE to keep it afloat. Partly I think people are still searching for a business model that will work. And, maybe it helps to have the consulting work first -- Zope is still in business.
